| 5 | Migraine | I have been taking excederin migraine for years. It was always my go to. But today I have been in bed for hours with such severe nausea and belly pains and diarrhea. There is no other explanation. I'm so sad because this headache medicine is the best. I don't know what I'm going to do. I know I'll be fearful of taking this again anytime soon in the future. | I just don't understand why after all these years this would happen? | F | 45 | 0 days 2 pills 1X day | 3/27/2021 | 5 | FIBROMYALGIA PAIN | I have not had any side effects from this medication. | This is the only medication I've found that relieves my fibromyalgia pain. I've tried Demerol and opioids in the past. Nothing touched the pain. I was desperate and decided to try Excedrin Migraine, and was delighted to discover that it relieved the pain. | F | 68 | 3 years | 9/29/2020 | 5 | Migraines | Excedrin works good for me I only take one pill, and i make sure i have a full stomach. I have taken 2 pills before and never in my life will I make tht mistake again it have me panic attacks, anxiety, I was freaking out felt like I was going to die couldn't breathe, heart was beating fast felt very nervous. I had to get my thoughts together and try not to freak out it last for a hour or 2 worst feeling in my life so I recommend taking 1 not 2 | M | 34 | 5 years 1 pill | 1/11/2020 | 5 | Really bad Headaches | I take Excedrin Migraine frequently because of constant headaches. Thirty minutes after taking, my headache is gone. Yes, it does make me jittery sometimes, but also as soon as it starts working I feel a cloud lifted from my head. I feel sooo much better. However, what I dont like is having really bad indigestion. Burping ALL the time. If I dont have any Tums with me I wont take the Excedrine. | It's kinda like taking an energy drink that helps your migraine. | F | 39 | 1 days 2 pills | 8/30/2019 | 5 | Migraine | Upset stomach and vomiting | Definitely gets rid of my migraines however the trade off is a painful stomach. | F | 39 | 1 days | 7/23/2018 | 5 | I get pre menstral migraines | I eliminate the side effects from excedrin by eating papaya pills or juice or the actual fruit in dried or fresh form, because papaya is known for creating enzymes in your stomach that activate mucus to coat your inside lining and protect it from acids and burning from taking Excedrin. Next, I take 2 Valerian herbal capsules found any where in the vitamin section that balances out the caffeine jitters that Excedrin causes. Then I drink a lot of water with taking 2 Excedrin capsules. So my migraine goes away and my stomach and nervous system are in control. The great thing about papaya and Valerian is that you can keep taking it as needed every few hours if you feel that your Excedrin side effects are coming back. Safe & natural combo. | F | 1 days | 4/16/2017 | 5 | Migraine | Made sure I had food in my stomach so only felt like I drank a cup of coffee, awake. You HAVE to make sure to either have food in your stomach or drink a lot of water, which is right on the bottle. | M | 40 | 1 days 2 | 10/8/2016 | 5 | Migraine | Caffeine may keep me awake, but it's a small price to pay to get rid of the migraine. | I get between 1 and 5 migraines a month. I have tried Imitrex, Zomig, and Zonisamide, none did a thing for my migraines. Finally tried this, and it WORKS. If I recognize the migraine early enough, one pill may be sufficient, but if I delay, wanting to be sure it's really a migraine, then sometimes two pills are required. This is simply Tylenol, aspirin, and caffeine - but it's that unique combination that works. I have tried just tylenol and aspirin, and it was not effective. The caffeine plays some sort of important role. It's nice to have something cheap and OTC that works. I carry it in my purse, the car, everywhere I go. It's a godsend. | F | 54 | 10 years 2 pills 1X W | 8/18/2016 | 5 | Migraine | l would have been in bed vomiting for days if it wasn't for excedrin they save my life | F | 67 | 1 days | 6/11/2016 | 5 | Headaches | Only thing that helps with my headaches. Works very fast! | F | 21 | 7 months 130 | 5/3/2016 | 5 | I get frequent mirgraines. | I once accidentally took 3 Excedrin once and I got very jittery, nauseous, and couldn't sleep. | Works pretty great. Except for the one time I accidentally took 3 at once and I couldn't sleep and got very jittery. So don't do that. | F | 19 | 2 1X day | 3/13/2016 | 5 | Anemic related Migraines | I have nothing but praises for this, my headaches ate usually gone with just one pill..no negative side effects. | F | 49 | 1 days 50mg | 2/6/2016 | 5 | Migrane | No side effects | I had a huge migraine and I took 3 pills every hour for 3 hours. Migraine went away after that | M | 42 | 1 days 9 pills | 8/30/2015 | 5 | horrible migraine | Did not have any negative side effects, took med at 1100pm, it's now 120am. Awake because of the caffeine, but thank god the migraine went away in 30 minutes. You just have to take it at the first sign of the migraine or the nausea caused by the migraine will cause you to bring the medication right back up. This will have to do until I get health insurance for imitrex. | F | 44 | 1 days 250,250,85 | 7/10/2015 | 5 | for a migraine | Feel like I have the flu...tummy very upset,my head weights a ton,maybe pg,I dont think so. | F | 63 | 1 days lots | 6/21/2015 | 5 | Migraine with auras | no side effects | Ive been taking excedrin for my migraines (true migraines - ie., throbbing vascular pain in head that gets worse with even slight activity (ex. standing up), sometimes with auras beforehand (shapes in vision, traveling numbness on arms and face, and difficulty using the correct words)) for about a year and a half, and I can't recall ever having a serious side effect. I also have a moderate anxiety disorder, but it never triggered an anxiety attack. The only problem I have with it is that the caffeine makes it hard to fall asleep soon afterwards, and the caffeine sometimes makes my slight mitral valve prolapse worse ( = makes my heart skip beats more often when I'm laying down) but this is a very normal reaction for me when taking caffeine. I try to only take one pill so as to be easy on my liver and heart, but if the migraine is really intense, I'll take two. Either way it almost always works to get rid of the migraine (or at least reduce it significantly) and no serious side effects for me. | F | 23 | 1 capsule 4X M | 6/18/2015 | 5 | Ice pick headache, tension headache | Occasional light headedness, a couple weird sensations in my head but it felt good. Clears my thoughts | I have learned that 1 pill is all anyone should take at one time. I used to take two and it would give me a panic attack. I would suggest spacing out the daily recommended dose of 2 pills rather than taking them both at once. My head has felt foggy all day followed by a horrible headache, I took one pill 3 hours ago and my head feels clear and pain free. If you follow the directions on the bottle, this pill is the best thing for a migraine! | F | 28 | 1 days 1 pill | 4/1/2015 | 5 | Bad headaches! | I took 2 for a bad headache.... It slacked up a little I wanted more relief so I took 2 more about an hour later then another hour later I took 2 sleep aid pills so I could sleep...huge mistake .....heart racing,nauseated and restless hope I don't die!Please read directions first and follow them… | F | 37 | 1 days 30mg | 3/8/2015 | 5 | Tension Headache | I LOVE Excedrin. It's the only thing that works on my headaches. My whole family takes it. I can't take regular Excedrin with the aspirin because it upsets my stomach. I had a really bad migraine a few weeks ago and I took 1 1/2. If I take 2, it makes me to shaky. That's why you should only take 1. If one doesn't help withing an hour, take another 1/2 a pill. Taking 2 will make you jumpy and your heart races. Its from the caffeine in the medicine. I also take it with a little bit of soda that has caffeine in it, it works even faster that way. | F | 46 | 1X AN | 12/30/2014 | 5 | migraines | I usually don't experience negative side effects with Excedrin Migraine, but I had an awful migraine today and took 2...I feel jittery and like I could throw up Exorcist style.definitely will only take 1 tab from now on. | F | 28 | 1 days 1 tab | 9/30/2014 |
